Description

The Jurat or Certificate of Authorized Officer that Affidavit was Properly Made Regarding an Illiterate Affiant is a legal document designed to attest that an affidavit has been executed properly under specific circumstances involving an illiterate person. This form captures the assurance of a notary public who confirms that the contents of the affidavit were read aloud to the affiant, who is unable to read or write. The presence of witnesses is required to corroborate the affiant's understanding of the document, ensuring that all parties involved affirm the affiant's awareness of what is being sworn. Key features of this form include spaces for the date, the affiant's mark, and the signatures of both the notary and two witnesses. For completion, careful attention must be paid to ensure all sections are filled out accurately and that the proper witnesses are present. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and legal assistants working with clients who may struggle with literacy issues, ensuring that their rights are upheld in legal matters. Paralegals and associates can also utilize this form to assist in the preparation of affidavits, ensuring legal adherence while being supportive of the affiant's needs.
